It is a useful joke and the idea isn't a joke but in it's current form it is a joke indeed. No edit I've ever contributed in the early years remained long enough to be worth my time adding, regardless of citations I provided. I pretty much fact check every thing and look directly at the sources, plus try to find other information now. It's still a useful starting point so long as the topic is one their politics hasn't ruined. i'm surprised individuals they have defamed haven't sued them into oblivion yet.

"The Transportation Security Administration said Sunday it has stopped allowing employees to use the China-owned video app TikTok to create social media posts for the agency "

Hardly the same as telling them they can't use the app to post goofy videos with their kids. Totally reasonable.

Misleading headline. This is just another scam school for the desperate, gullible and those who can't do math. Even if they had provided a decent course, $30k is expensive and could go towards a real well recognized university degree.

> It still won't save IBM. They'll go down in the coming year or two along with the rest of the industry we used to call IT..

Oh well then better find a building to jump off since I'm in IT and the whole industry is going, right? Or maybe instead I take this article and chop it up nice and small so it doesn't clog my toilet.

> There were plenty of polls, after the fukashima accident public opinion turned against nuclear power. When 80% of the country is against it, it simply doesn't matter if they are wrong or it's a bad idea.

You are writing an epitaph for the human race, you realize.

I don't think most people realize just how many products Google has killed. It isn't prudent to depend on their products being around in the medium term, no matter how cool.

Take a look:

Back then if you wrote clean code, or code that was clever and earnt or saved the company money or got customers, you were respected. Now they just wonder why you haven't been outsourced yet and lump you with enough red tape to drown in.

There are developers who have written more than 3 languages you arrogant muppet. I personally haven't worked on a project that used less than 3 languages in over 2 decades and I have had code run for years on a daily basis without issue.

The national broadband network is sure to be cancelled by the incoming government next election. It is an overpriced and unnecessary joke - entirely the wrong way of going about things.

I've been here for about a decade and a half and I'm done. I do not come here to read about fucking psychics and lately I get real news in popular press before it hits this site. This place was always a nasty one, full of trolls well entrenched along with worthwhile posters, but the news use to be quality and you could get a decent conversation. Now I'd be better off reading the fucking enquirer. Nice knowing you slashdot, don't let the door hit your arse on the way out.

Nor the Spanish Inquisition, or some I'm told...how appropriate.

More support for my push to rename Hydrogen to Stupidium or Ignoranium. It is the most abundant element after all.

Nuke from orbit. It's the only way to be sure!

Slashdot moderation simply hasn't evolved to the point where you can.
